1900獨白—海上鋼琴師
The end of the world
在世界的盡頭
Take a piano
輕撫琴鍵
The keys begin, the keys end
琴聲升起又落下
You know there are 88 of them and no-one can tell you differently
你知道它們一共有88個卻沒人告訴你他們的區別
They are not infinite, you are infinite
它們不是無窮無盡的,而你是
And on those 88 keys the music that you can make is infinite
在音樂里,你可以利用它們創造無限
I like that
我喜歡那樣
That I can live by
那是我活下去的方式
But you get me up on that gangway
但是你讓我從舷梯走下去
And roll out a keyboard with millions of keys
跟著千萬個音符離開鍵盤
And that's the truth, there's no end to them
那是真的,他們是無止境的
That keyboard is infinite
那樣的“鍵盤”是無限的
But if that keyboard is infinite, there's no music you can play
但如果鍵盤是無限的,你也就沒有音樂可以彈奏了
You're sitting on the wrong bench
那條長凳不屬于你
That's God's piano
因為那是上帝的鋼琴
Christ, did you see the streets? There were thousands of them!
你看到那條路了嗎?那里有千萬個他們啊
How do you choose just one?
你怎能只選一個?
One woman, one house
一個女人,一個房子
One piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at
一片你自己的地,一片可觀賞的風景
One way to die
一種死亡的方式
All that world weighing down on you without you knowing where it ends
你背負著整個世界,卻不知道盡頭在何處
Aren't you scared of just breaking apart
你不害怕被壓垮嗎?
Just thinking about it, the enormity of living in it?
想一想生活在其中的意義是什么
I was born on this ship
我在船上出生
The world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time.
那時,世界從我身旁走過,但那兩千人沒有
And there were wishes here
那就是希望所在
But never more than fit between prow and stern
但從來都不會多過這艘船,在船頭和船尾之間
You played out your happiness on a piano that was not infinite
你在鋼琴上傳達出了你的快樂,然而那不是無窮的
I learned to live that way
我學到那樣的生活方式
Land is a ship too big for me
而陸地對我來說是一艘過大的船
It's a woman too beautiful
是個太漂亮的美人
It's a voyage too long
是一條太長的航線
Perfume too strong
太濃的香水
It's music I don't know how to make
是一首不知該如何彈奏的樂曲
I can never get off this ship
我無法離開這艘船
I'm blessed I can step off my life
我沒法舍棄這艘船,我寧可舍棄自己的生命
After all, I don't exist for anyone
反正,世間沒人記得我
